It is the second increase this year for the island's lowest paid.
The minimum wage went up by 5% in April, to £7.88.
The combined 6.9% rise is worth an extra £1,082 a year to those working a 40 hour week.

The Employment Forum is due to recommend a further minimum wage increase for 2020 next month.
